Sugar Rush: Mini Cupcakes at Kyotofu

At Kyotofu, miniature cupcakes are sold in ribbon-wrapped quartets. They're bite-sized versions of their regular cupcakes, ideal for those who want a taste of everything. From left, we start with the Matcha cupcake, a Kyotofu classic, the green tea in full force with the dense, even-crumbed cake. Yuzu-Vanilla is to the right, with yuzu providing a tart bite against the subtle vanilla. The Chocolate Soufflé cupcake borders on fudgy; it's decidedly dark with a crunchy top. And finally, the Apple-Cinnamon is a seasonal number dotted with fresh apple bites with a buttery ring of crumble at the edges.

They're somewhere closer to muffins than cupcakes, not too sweet, more on the quick bread side (not cake-like at all), and free of frosting. But whatever you decide to call it, I can confirm it's delicious.
